I have a quistion... I see links everywhere on the forum, just in the words, for example, I say the word law in someones signature here... it´s was lightergreen and it had a line under it, when I go to it with my mouse, it says sponsered link, is it just this forum or is it my PC??

Some forums have sponsored links, and certain words are automatically converted to links to a sponsor site when used in a posting. For example, there's one computer forum that I sometimes visit that turns the word "computer" into a link to the Dell website, because Dell sponsors that site.

But this shouldn't happen here. If it ia, it's almost certainly the work of a spammer. Can you post a link to such a post if it's here?

If the word "law" in your posting on this site (in this thread) is being converted to a link (even in my post, where I can guarantee I have not linked it to anything), then you've got some malicious code on your PC.

Let me know .... I've got some procedures I can talk you through to get your clear if so.

Just now when I opened your "computer" link, it went through a couple redirections and ended up on a page where I could choose a laptop computer. I'd say that somewhere a filter got installed on your system that converts certain words into links.

I had a problem similar to this. Check 'View' and 'Toolbars' and see if a program (probably with the word 'Search') has put itself there. If so, untick it.

Have a trawl through 'Tools' and 'Options' too - sorry I can't be more specific.

I had this software that managed to install itself sneakily through some other innocent program. Maybe also check your program files and see if something sticks out. Maybe it's a program you can uninstall?

Do not click on that link in Methica's post!!!!!!When I've finished posting this, I'm going to edit your post Methica to cripple it - I won't change anything else. This is for the safety and protection of all users of this site.

Methica, it sounds like you have a serious infection on your PC. Can you go over to Malware Removal, register, and in the Malware forum follow the instructions on posting a HijackThis log along with a description of your problem (you can include a link back to here if you wish to illustrate).

One of the helpers there will be along yo help you and get you clear of this.

Edit: Chris, it looks as though we posted this at the same time!

To all: Please remember that spyware cannot be kept away with "just" an antivirus program, in addition you need a proper firewall plus at least two different malware/spyware removal softwares installed and your computer should be scanned through with those software at least every week! Also, do not rely on every kind of "malware removal tools" that can be found free from internet (or just any free games you may find), they can be malware too!!! I had also some nasty things in my computer in the past, but thanks to proper software and its regular scans, I have been lucky to stay away from them!
